Chaka Skirt

The Toad & Co. Women's Chaka Skirt goes from running errands, to work, and then to happy hour in a cinch. Its wide gathered waistband offers flattering style, with a slightly above-the-knee length for plenty of coverage. The A-line silhouette pairs well with a blouse or your favorite summer tank.

Comfy and looks good all day

I got this in the cocoa stripe and it goes with everything! It’s lightweight, folds up for travel yet I put it on and it looks great right out of my stuff sack! Love it.

This is a terrific black knit skirt with just enough ease to swing a bit at the knees. It would have been perfect with leggings or without. Sadly, this kind of fold-down waistband adds bulk where I don't want it, across my abdomen.

I love this skirt! It is so cottony soft, but still feels luxurious. I have a bigger bum and hips and this skirt still totally works. Can wear in summer or winter with tights.

I was given this product from Backcountry, but this review Is my personal opinion. I'm 5'5, 118lbs, 25" waist, no hips/butt, long legs and short waisted. I ordered a medium and should have gotten a small. Regardless, the Toad & Co Chaka skirt would be better from curvy girls b/c of the fit. The length is just at the knee or slight below - depending on your height with great detail on the wide waistband - bunches on the sides, but not so much that it looks weird or fits odd. This Toad & Co. skirt, like all of their products, is very well made, super comfy and soft. The Chaka skirt can be dress up or down depending on the top, shoes and accessories so, it can be worn at work, bopping around town, or going to a party. It packs well and could be great to take on a trip or hiking if you wanted to be stylin :). Toad & Co. Chaka skirt is great additon to any girl who is looking for a skirt that flows as she moves, is light it weight, durable and versatile.

My wife loves the two Chaka skirts I bought her. She tells me they are light and comfortable, the waste band is broad and not not too tight. I'm pretty sure I'll be buying more of these for her.

I ordered the "charcoal heather" however the skirt that arrived was a very light grey, nothing "charcoal" about it, so returned it. Otherwise, I own about 6 chaka skirts in various solids and prints and love them and wear them all the time. I am 5'6" and 140 lbs and the medium fits best. Some of them I've taken in a little bit in the waist for a better fit, but need the room in the hips and butt that the medium offers.

I have several of these from previous years and love them. I recently bought the blue stripe and was sorely disappointed. The material is much thinner and wrinkles. What made the others perfect travel skirts is that you could grab and go. I'll keep for around the house but not worth the hassle to pack.

This has become my go-to casual skirt. The material is super soft, and the waistband is very comfortable. Plus, it has a fun pattern. Even better, I get tons of compliments when I wear it. Would highly recommend!

This skirt is so comfortable. I prefer it to wearing shorts in the summer. I have in two colors and wish I had more. The waistband is super comfortable - and seems true to size.

I purchased this skirt in two different colors. One size XS and one Small after reading the reviews. I normally wear a size small. I am not what you would consider small framed. The XS fit but it was more fitted than I like so I stayed with the size small. I think it runs pretty true to size. Also, the material is very thin but does seem to be of good quality. You have to be careful what you wear underneath.
Overall this is a very cute skirt and I will be exchanging the XS for a Small in the same color.

This skirt is SO cute! And so extremely comfortable too. It is stretchy, and has a little interior pocket in the waistband for you to stash whatever you need to.
It is really flattering with the gathered waistband, and is a perfect length. I think it looks best with the shirt you wear tucked in, and maybe a cute cardigan or jacket on top. It doesn't look very cute with a shirt over the top, but that may just be me!
This does run a little large, so I would size down. I am 5'5 and 160 lbs and typically wear a Large, the Large in this was just a little too big.

I love this skirt. It's super comfy and easy to dress up or down. I agree with the other reviewers that it runs large... I am generally between a small and medium, and definitely needed the small in this. If you're looking for a go to spring/summer piece, I would highly recommend this skirt.

I love these skirts! So easy to throw on and can be dressy or casual. I have a few colors I'm happy with them!
They do run a bit large, but I guess its the style, a xxs would be nice for smaller ladies.

I purchased this skirt in the "Dark Coral Aspen Print" and it's very cute. I love the print and the color is exactly what you see on the site. The skirt looks great with a tucked in tank top or T-shirt. Since the waist is a little 'bunchy' in detail, It doesn't look great with a shirt over top of it. I like the tucked in, semi- high waisted look when wearing this. You can wear this skirt with sandals, boots or a cute pair of sneakers.
Sizing: it does run slightly large so instead of ordering my typical size small, I went ahead with the XS and it fits great.
